Abstract

Weather plays a crucial role in the life cycle of a crop. The crops are directly influenced by weather conditions from sowing to maturity. Weather exerts its influence on agricultural production through its effect on soil, plant growth and development and yield. Weather has a great influence on insects and plant diseases. In scientific research, the recording and analysis of meteorological data has assumed a paramount importance, therefore, there is a need for high precision and accuracy of the data. To study the effect of various weather elements, it is essential to measure these elements regularly, so that day to day fluctuations may be studied. This can be done by using various meteorological instruments installed in the observatory with ideal exposure in the experimental field.
